Additional Information

Comments Columbia 6-eye logo release

Recorded at the Basin Street night club in New York in October 1954 and July 1955.

'The cover photograph of this album, taken by Helena Rubinstein at the hungry i in San Francisco, is the same as the one which is currently appearing in the advertisements and promotional material for Helena Rubinstein's new lipstick, "Jazz: Red Hot and Cool." (It's the same shade of red as the dress worn by the young lady who is diggin Dave.) Thus the cover and title of this album is part of a Rubinstein-Columbia promotion which extends to the publicizing of the Columbia jazz catalog and the inclusion of the record, containing four extracts from Columbia jazz albums, in the special package in which the lipstick is sold. All of which proves that if someone comes up with a bright new idea, it is entirely possible to do business and help a group of jazz musicians at the same time.' [back sleeve]
